Jim, You know how it is, even when it's done there's still a few more things to do to make it perfect. For some reason though, there always seems to be a few more things! And yes, my wife does enjoy shopping... Herb -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of J.

Hi gang, Since the passing of the holidays, I have now jumped back out in the garage in high gear. I keep telling myself 90 days to Hooters nite, and I'm determined to get my '66 painted by Spring. I still have quite a bit of bodywork to complete first though- Tonite it was 19 degrees outside, but that didn't stop me one bit. I had the kerosene heater running full blast, and I was in my glory welding up those holes and fixing all those bad spots. Just wanted to share my winter excitement with you all.

Re: [Chevelle-list] back in the trenches...
The funny thing is, the list of things needing repair is quickly growing smaller, and I'm almost a bit depressed about it.. When I bought the car, I kept looking at it and thinking about how great it will be to get it back on the road one day- and now that it's back on the road, the more I long for another heap of rusted steel parts to breathe new life into..

RE: [Chevelle-list] back in the trenches...
JD, Yours looks like a show car compared to how mine was when I brought it home... Mine had no windshield, no tranny, no interior, no motor, mostly all chrome and trim missing, the list goes on.. What DID it have? It had all the other glass, and 9 mice living in the frame (no possums though). I have to figure out how to get pics off of the video I took of it when I first brought it home.
